The article discusses the recent slump in Bitcoin's value, which has dropped to its lowest point in 2025, negatively impacting major US crypto stocks such as Coinbase and Robinhood. The decline follows newly imposed tariffs by former President Trump, causing a drop in investor confidence. Bitcoin fell by 5.5% on Monday, and major crypto platforms saw declines, with Coinbase dropping 5% and Robinhood plunging 14%.
Experts like Susannah Streeter and Trevor Koverko highlight how the broader risk-off sentiment in the market is overshadowing any optimism about cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is also at risk of a “death cross,” where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, signaling potential further declines.
Despite this, there are some optimistic views from industry experts. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, suggests that factors like a weakening US dollar, potential Fed rate cuts, and the economic challenges in China could actually make Bitcoin more attractive in the long run.
While there’s uncertainty about the immediate future of crypto, investors are waiting to see whether the market will continue to decline or stabilize as the impact of Trump’s tariffs plays out.
